Hello Guys !
I need your help... OK, I may be blind or idiot
, but I don't see how this type of cars can be opened to install their lightening - which is provided with it, and is safely packed inside ! (in a plastic bag, visible at right)
These are O gauge Lionel / Williams RI cars - I have a set of three that I use with my IVES by Williams #1694 engine.
Pictures :
Details of one of them (N° 1687) :
As you can more or less see inside through the windows, there's a "mechanical springy device" attached to the center of the roof, with two spring-recalled slider knobs protruding at L and R.
I ingenuously think that, for installing the internal lightening system, you would need to remove the roof of the car - am I right ?
I primarily thought that this mysterious inside device was some kind of locking, liberating the roof when the two slider knobs are pushed (last image).
Nope... I am puzzled !
Oh, I'm sure that I miss something, or I do not have the right procedure !
Would you - Knowledgeable US Tinplate Trains Specialists -
tell me how this car roof dismantling operation can be done properly ?
Thanks in advance...
